Gonadal dosage during hip dysplasia radiography in the dog
Research in Veterinary Science
|January 1, 1977
Abstract:
Thermoluminescent dosemeters were used to estimate gonadal dosage during hip dysplasia radiography of labrador retriever dogs. The mean radiation dose to the unshielded testes was 100 millirad (mrad) and the estimated dose to the shielded testes was 9 mrad. It was considered unnecessary to shield the ovaries.
